Wang Dachun stood beneath the screen displaying the test results.
His eyes were wide open, as if they were about to jump out of their sockets at any moment.
"1012??!!"
He stared at the flashing number on the screen, his heart pounding as if it were about to burst from his throat.
"This...this is what I typed?" Wang Dachun's voice trembled, his face filled with disbelief.
In strength tests, 1000 is the dividing line between the Silver and Gold ranks.
Wang Dachun achieved these numbers.
This means that in terms of strength alone, they have already reached the level of the initial stage of the Gold rank.
But he knew perfectly well that he hadn't broken through to the Silver rank yet, and even when he exerted all his strength just a second ago, he only managed to get a score of a little over 500.
This...this is simply a miracle!!
Wang Dachun stared at the wreckage of the robot, swallowed hard.
Those peers who are recognized as geniuses in the academy, and those young talents from various families who are just beginning to show their potential, are only at the initial stage of the Gold Realm!
Those were all people who were previously out of my reach!
But now... it's within reach!
The reality before him shattered Wang Dachun's worldview, leaving him speechless and stunned.
Ye Ran's gaze was as deep and far-reaching as the stars.
He ignored Wang Dachun, who was still in a daze.
He walked up to the testing robot and gently touched the cracks in it.
"Tsk tsk, even the magic-textured alloy shattered. The teachers in the supplies department must be feeling the pinch..."
Ye Ran patted the crumbs off his hands and stood up:
"Not bad," he said with satisfaction.
"The test robot did not move back even one centimeter."
"This proves that the attack did not waste any power at all, and it was basically destroyed within the target's body. The efficiency you are currently exerting is at least 70%."
Hearing Ye Ran's evaluation, Wang Dachun was even more shocked.
"Efficiency...70%..."
Wang Dachun muttered to himself,
The efficiency of a typical Silver-tier unit is only around 30%.
Countless people train day after day, meticulously refining their movements, all for the sake of improving efficiency by less than one percent.
And now I've easily surpassed my peers by so much...
The reality before his eyes was shattering Wang Dachun's perception.
His heart was in turmoil.
Just two sentences of guidance, only two sentences of guidance...
His own strength was artificially elevated to this level.
Wang Dachun recalled his arduous training day after day, year after year.
A bitter taste lingered at the corners of my mouth; I felt as if the past ten years or so of my life had been wasted.
What kind of cultivation technique was written by a grandmaster of extraordinary skill?
What kind of diamond-level expert would teach you step by step?
Compared to Teacher Ye Ran's guidance, it's like a mayfly seeing the blue sky!
"Teacher, is all of this real?"
Despite the results before him, Wang Dachun continued to doubt himself:
"What's real or fake? Can't you see the result for yourself?"
"But teacher, how could someone with my skill level possibly do that...?"
Ye Ran looked at Wang Dachun and shook her head.
Although Wang Dachun's physical potential has been unlocked, he is still missing something.
Sharpness,
Wang Dachun's long-term life of being a slacker had worn down his spirit.
If this continues, even the most talented person will eventually become useless and fade into obscurity.
This isn't the result I wanted after all that hard work. I need to give this kid some drastic measures.
"Da Chun, it's okay to fool others, but there's no need to fool yourself."
Ye Ran interrupted Wang Dachun directly.
His eyes were sharp, as if he could see right into Wang Dachun's heart:
"Da Chun, as far as I know, you sleep during the day and secretly practice boxing in the training room at night."
"Think about it carefully. You throw a million punches every day, rely on three part-time jobs to exchange for other people's energy stone quotas, and work hard in places where no one can see you."
Ye Ran patted Wang Dachun's cheek:
"Ask yourself honestly, do you really think you're a loser? Wake up! Challenging those above your level should be the norm for A-level Awakened! Those mediocre teachers misjudged you; don't let their mistakes become your burden."
A-level Awakened individuals are geniuses, one in a million, capable of challenging opponents of higher levels.
It's just that Wang Dachun, this gem, has been obscured for too long, to the point that he has forgotten what a genius should look like.
"From today onwards, stand tall and let the entire Shanghai Martial Arts Academy witness your genius, Wang Dachun! You should be the brightest star in the entire freshman class!!"
Ye Ran's words pierced Wang Dachun's heart like arrows.
"Teacher Ye... I..."
Wang Dachun's eyes reddened slightly as he listened to Ye Ran's words.
Looking back, in just two short years,
Wang Dachun went from being a rising star admired by everyone to a piece of trash and a good-for-nothing despised by all.
From being the center of attention to being pointed at and criticized
From a student receiving special attention to a repeat student in the worst class of the entire grade.
Wang Dachun, not yet twenty years old, had experienced the full spectrum of human nature's harsh realities.
Waste that occupies school resources!
A worthless piece of trash who doesn't deserve his position!
Why not drop out of school immediately?
These rumors and gossip tormented his heart constantly.
Faced with public pressure, Wang Dachun gradually became numb.
Numbly deceiving yourself, you're just a lucky but useless person.
He became numb, transforming from a spirited, confident, and ambitious young man into a naive and easily bullied simpleton.
